UIPageControl - How to make the background transparent?

Question

I am using UIPageControl and trying to make the background transparent.

UIPageControl *pageControl = [UIPageControl appearance];
pageControl.pageInd         


        

Answer 1

pageControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

is working but!! than you have to set the backgroundColor of the UIPageViewController also on [UIColor clearColor] and than! you will see the backgroundcolor of the container view.

- (void)initPageViewController
{
    _pageController = [[UIPageViewController alloc] initWithTransitionStyle:UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll
                                                      navigationOrientation:UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientationHorizontal
                                                                    options:nil];

    UIImageView *imgView= [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    imgView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"NiceBGImage"];
    [self.view addSubview:imgView];

    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    _pageController.view.frame = ({
        CGRect frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
        frame;
    });

    _pageController.delegate = self;
    _pageController.dataSource = self;
    _pageController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    NSArray *controllers = @[_controllers[0]];

    [self.pageController setViewControllers:controllers
                                  direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward
                                   animated:NO
                                 completion:nil];

    UIPageControl *pageControl = [UIPageControl appearance];
    pageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    pageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    pageControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    pageControl = [UIPageControl appearanceWhenContainedIn:[_pageController class], nil];

    [self addChildViewController:_pageController];
    [[self view] addSubview:_pageController.view];
    [self.pageController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
}
